The Prime Minister wrote in The Sunday Telegraph that if Parliament can find a way to back the Brexit deal before next week’s meeting then “the UK will leave the EU this spring”. Mrs May also promised that if a deal was agreed then the UK would not have to take part in upcoming European elections, allowing the nation to get on with building a “future relationship with the EU”. She argued failure to back her agreement would lead to “undesirable alternatives” which include not leaving the EU on March 29. However, the Prime Minister also listed other alternatives which include the prospect of a second referendum, a general election or the “increased possibility of leaving without a deal”.
